-- TO MY FRIENDS --
The Daishonin states,
"You have associated with 
a friend in the orchid room
and have become as straight 
as mugwort 
growing among hemp."*
In the beautiful realm 
of the SGI community,
where we help polish 
and inspire one another,
let's advance together 
towards achieving 
our human revolution!

--- DAILY GOSHO ---
"Be resolved to summon forth the great power of faith, and chant Nam-myoho-renge-kyo with the prayer that your faith will be steadfast and correct at the moment of death. Never seek any other way to inherit the ultimate Law of life and death, and manifest it in your life."

---- DAILY ENCOURAGEMENT ----
"…when I learned that Mr. Toda had spent two years in prison for his beliefs during World War II, at the hands of the militarist authorities, I felt I could trust him and decided to start practising Nichiren Buddhism.

"Looking back now, I can see that his encouragement echoes the Daishonin's spirit in the words: 'Commit yourself to the Lotus Sutra, and have faith in its teachings' (WND–1, 964).

"Practice is the life of faith. To practice with one's whole being, to take action, with courage is the heart of a living faith. No matter how knowledgeable one may be, one cannot truly understand faith without putting it into action."
